When its comes to a relevantly big project we may need something re-usable. This is something I came with with help of SO.
<!-- Modal Dialog -->
<div class="modal fade" id="confirmDelete" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="confirmDeleteLabel"
aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"
aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Delete Parmanently</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body" style="height: 75px">
<p>Are you sure about this ?</p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" id="confirm-delete-ok">Ok
</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var url_for_deletion = "#";
var success_redirect = window.location.href;
$('#confirmDelete').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
var message = $(e.relatedTarget).attr('data-message');
$(this).find('.modal-body p').text(message);
var title = $(e.relatedTarget).attr('data-title');
$(this).find('.modal-title').text(title);
if (typeof $(e.relatedTarget).attr('data-url') != 'undefined') {
url_for_deletion = $(e.relatedTarget).attr('data-url');
}
if (typeof $(e.relatedTarget).attr('data-success-url') != 'undefined') {
success_redirect = $(e.relatedTarget).attr('data-success-url');
}
});
<!-- Form confirm (yes/ok) handler, submits form -->
$('#confirmDelete').find('.modal-footer #confirm-delete-ok').on('click', function () {
$.ajax({
method: "delete",
url: url_for_deletion,
}).success(function (data) {
window.location.href = success_redirect;
}).fail(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
$('#confirmDelete').modal('hide');
return false;
});
<script/>
<a href="#" class="table-link danger"
data-toggle="modal"
data-target="#confirmDelete"
data-title="Delete Something"
data-message="Are you sure you want to inactivate this something?"
data-url="client/32"
id="delete-client-32">
</a>
<!-- jQuery should come before this -->
<%@ include file="../some/path/confirmDelete.jsp" %>
Note: This uses http delete method for delete request, you can change it from javascript or, can send it using a data-attribute as in data-title or data-url etc, for support any request.
